Iceraven and Ironfox browser comparison

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:53:12 +0000

Both are Firefox forks for Android. Both strip out telemetry. They diverge on what to do after that.

Iceraven is built around customisation. It exposes about:config, supports a wider range of add-ons than stock Firefox for Android, and tries to replicate the desktop Firefox experience on mobile. Updates come through GitHub releases. It’s aimed at people who want to tweak their browser.

IronFox comes from Mull, which itself is a privacy-hardened Firefox fork. It removes more telemetry than Iceraven, disables features that leak data by default (WebGL, for example), and keeps the interface stripped down. It’s on F-Droid and Accrescent as well as GitHub. The trade-off is that some websites break because of the aggressive defaults.
